Town to Issue Statement - Ipswich Town News
Town will issue a statement regarding the restaged Middlesbrough game on Monday. Yesterday, the club announced that there would be no refunds but that those with matchday tickets for Saturday's abandoned game will be able to purchase seats for the rerun at 50% of the usual price, as per Football League regulations.
A Town spokesman told TWTD: "As chief executive Simon Clegg indicated yesterday, purchasing tickets for the rearranged game at 50% follows Football League regulations but the club will be issuing a statement tomorrow after we have looked further into the matter.”
We understand Clegg is set to meet with ticket office manager John Ford and club secretary Sally Webb and will also liaise with the Supporters Club and Middlesbrough.
Subsequent to the above, Clegg has been quoted on the club site: "[The 50% discount] falls in line with Football League regulations but we will be taking a broader look at the whole matter tomorrow [Monday], as we always planned to.
"Obviously we understand the fans' frustrations but a lot of people worked very hard to ensure the game went ahead. Our groundstaff worked through the night from Wednesday onwards and could not have done anymore.
"I'll be speaking to Middlesbrough tomorrow and we will issue a statement on the website to confirm all details regarding Saturday's game and the rearranged fixture."
